    Sorry loiner1965

    ..still here!

    Just back from a great afternoon shooting the Martini Henry!.

    Seems 58.2 grains BY WEIGHT of Pyrodex RS, Tesco's finest economy Scottish porridge oats, a small felt wad and a greased up 500 grain Lee cast moulded bullet is great combination!.

    All in the black, including a V-Bull at 200 yrds!

    Still smiling

    ..have to admit, feeling pretty smug . John at fultons wants the rifle back, got it to cheap if it shoots that well apparently!

    Looks like the shot to shot consistancy rumours of Pyrodex hold true then.

    The lee mould creates "flat head" bullets, didn't think they'd travel so well?!. Markers confirmed the there was no "key holing". Nice neat holes despite no patching what so ever...
